Circle of Hope Mammography Van Coming to Merrick

The Circle of Hope of Bellmore, Merrick and Wantagh's Mammography Van will be coming to 2174 Hewlett Ave. in Merrick on Tuesday morning. 

The van will arrive at 8:30 a.m. and the organization will also host a free community health seminar that evening at 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Those with health insurance, must bring a prescription for the mammogram from a physician and are required to show photo ID at the time of the service. If a patient had a mammogram through the Nassau Health Care Corp., they must bring prior films to the appointment.

Appointments in advance are required. To schedule an appointment call the Circle of Hope Merrick/Bellmore/Wantagh office at (516) 833-3057.
